  • Patent number: 7013208
    Abstract: The sliding, integral, and proportional controller for providing aircraft antiskid braking control includes a reference velocity subsystem, a velocity error ratio subsystem, and a main controller subsystem generating a control command output signal indicative of a command braking pressure. The main controller subsystem includes a one dimensional sliding mode controller subsystem to determine an estimated net wheel torque signal, an adaptive threshold subsystem for generating an adaptive threshold based upon the modified slip ratio signal and a clock signal, integral gain subsystems, a proportional controller subsystem, and a pressure limiter. A method for determining braking efficiency of an aircraft braking system independent of the specific conditions is also provided.
